I am in a really pissy mood today. I had no air conditioning over the weekend, my PC crashed with viruses and my coffee pot broke. A/C is back up and running, a medic I work with removed the viruses I had, but apparently he also removed a few key items, so half my crap isn't working,and when it does it quits for no reason. Oh, and a nasty cramp in my calf woke me at 0630, causing me to catapult up out of the bed from a dead sleep, screaming. I'm sure the neighbors heard me because all the fucking windows were open.
But, in other business, yours truly just happened to see an article here a few weeks ago from a link on Facebook's ENA page. After reading the article I posted my opinion on the authors childish sense of entitlement and then I promptly forgot about it.
Until today. The same author wrote another article here apparently upset with Rachedy and a few others who bothered to waste their time responding. I seemed to really touch a nerve with this hand job as he wasted two whole paragraphs dissing yours truly and her momma. I cannot express how honored I feel at all this attention.
I am half inclined to email this douche and offer to have him come work a shift with me on a Saturday night during a full moon.
This poor excuse for a writer would more than likely not get it. I'm sure after spending an hour with me he would be on the phone to the state regulatory agencies complaining about some bullshit thing or other. I'm sure two hours without a pee break or a cigarette and probably a shot of bourbon, he would go home and type up more flaming crap that makes no sense. This probably explains his utter lack of proper sentence structure and just plain crappy writing.
One nurse on the ENA page wrote him a long letter, attempting to explain the process, to which he responded that his friend was much sicker than those he saw going back who had checked in after his poor friend had. His friend was there for chronic dental pain! He already was on pain meds and had been for four whole days.
Hey, I bet he'd run out of pain meds. Yep, that's probably it. Freaking piece of
wasted space.

a. I can't figure out for the life of me why a newspaper would have him as a "writer" when he can barely put together a sentence.
b. I can't believe how some people figure they are more qualified for triaging than the professionals in ER.
c. The guy posts on the internet and is offended when anyone in the world comments??? Doesn't he realize what the www is??
d. Why is it that someone with a dental problem at the beginning of the wk doesnt go to his DENTIST or at least the MD to get abx earlier so at least he can avoid the shot of abx in the rear....I guess a visit to ER is more dramatic and allows the histrionics that he enjoys.
e. This guy needs a disclaimer sign in ER to let him know it's gonna cost $2K for an ER visit??? Where has he been?
f. People exhaust me sometimes. I guess you really can't fix stupid.
Seriously, you can't fix stupid!!!
Seriously? This is why I fucking hate triage. These assholes think that if it only takes 5 minutes for you their treatment then they shouldn't have to wait. No, fool. If it only takes 5 minutes YOUR ASS SHOULD NOT BE HERE, and you will wait accordingly. Did you walk in? Great, then you can walk out. STFU.
I kept track last night...how many people I kept from running into ER with non emergent things that they could have taken care of by an MD visit or Home treatment..... 22/25 phonecalls. And btw, they can sometimes get just as rude...however, we have the option of pressing the disconnect button after warning them nicely. But most do realize I saved them a trip and a wait.
